miss_s_b, this week's Friday 5 questions are all about apples. So:
1. Have you ever bobbed for apples?
Yes, a long time ago, and I didn't enjoy it; it was awkward and seemed pointless.
2. Do you like regular or hard apple cider?
Yes, both: I like regular [unfiltered, pressed apple juice] when it's made from interesting apples, which alas isn't always; unpasteurized has more flavor, but is hard to get, and tends to start fermenting if we don't finish it quickly. Despite liking hard cider (now and again, but it's one of the few alcoholic beverages I do sometimes like), I don't like regular cider that has fermented enough to be noticeably alcoholic.
3. Do you have a special type of apple that you prefer over others?
Several, which is why this journal has a couple of dozen posts tagged "apple." Favorites include Macoun, Macintosh, and Esopus Spitzenberg, and I've recently become fond of Hudson's Golden Gem (at least last year, they were keeping well and I was buying them at the Somerville Winter Farmers Market in January and February) and Elstar. For supermarket apples, Granny Smith for cooking; Gala is a good and easy-to-find eating apple. (Macintosh seems to be more regional, but it's the region I live in.)
4. Have you ever made baked apples?
Yes; I should do so again, maybe core them and put butter and cinnamon inside.
5. Who is the apple of your eye?
There's nobody I think of in those terms, not even my beloveds. I think of that as more of a proud or doting parent or grandparent's term, as well as somewhat old-fashioned.
